[MUSIC] I'm gonna start out the recipe by making some
croutons. Now I always choose a crusty loaf of bread.
And I cut it in half and rather than cutting
it as most people do into, Perfect squares or cubes
I like to actually pull the bread from the center
of the loaf because when the bread toasts the irregular
edges kind of get tinged and colored and its a
much more appealing look. Drizzle it down with a little
extra virgin olive oil sprinkle with a little kosher salt
toss it together. I'm gonna spread them out on a
baking sheet and toast them in a 325 degree oven
until they're toasty and lightly brown. [BLANK_AUDIO] It's been about
25 minutes. I'm gonna check on my croutons to see
if they're toasted. Yeah. They're golden brown. And I'm gonna
set them aside to cool. [MUSIC]
